Prince Charming Overtakes the Kitchen. WIAW – Take Eight.

My last weekend ended up not as I’ve planned. My colleague got sick and I had to substitute for her spending my holidays in the office.

I’ve also overlooked my boyfriend – who did some work outside, in our garden – not dressed up properly (god, they can be children sometimes!) and was knocked down by the flue on Sunday afternoon. He took some days off work this week and surpassed our kitchen creating some amazing meals for both of us.

Poor some coffee, loves and take a peek at some awesome meals we ate yesterday.

Breakfast: Ricotta cheese with strawberries.

Lunch. Chicken drumsticks with potatoes. I was allowed to chop some veggies on the side.

Oh Cheeeez. You say my food looks good? YOURS looks to die for!!! Can I come visit you next time when the man cooks?? 🙂 ANd I can’t get over how beautiful all your pics are in EVERY post. I wish I had a camera and your skill!!

Hihihi, Lucie! I really wish to meet someone from this virtual world one day. And I’m ready to use my bf talents to tempt you coming here. 😀
Also, I work with the professional photographers daily – I should be using their knowledge for taking pictures, though usually I don’t have time or I’m just too lazy. Blah!
PS Check your commentary link, this doesn’t link to your current blog. Which is sad, you might be loosing some audience. And that’s a pity, cause I find your blog awesome!

Oh, yeah, Sooz – love my prince, but I hate that he is a rare guest in the kitchen. He usually prepares a Saturday dinner if we are not going out. That sucks!
And don’t ask me about the strawberries. He did the groceries this week. I’ve no idea where does he find those in winter.
Now I hope those weren’t artificial!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀

I like that you eat like normal foods for lunch. As in, non-lunch foods like salads and sandwiches. What I would do for some chicken and potatoes right now….And you can’t NOT finish the day with lindt. I live in the town where the factory is so we have an endless supply of chocolate at my fingertips. Dangerous!

Eating bigger lunches than dinners is common to my nationality.
I’ve lived in Greece for some time, and not eating during the day and then having a 12 meal course for dinner was a major issue.
And you live near the CHOCOLATE FACTORY???? That’s like a fairytale! Does your town smell chocolate? Hihihi! I bet very happy people live there. At least I’d be. Something in that sweet stuff makes me joyful 🙂

Haha. I wish my man would cook for me like this. I think the best I’d get is beans on toast. Lol. I’m definately the cook in our relationship. But he does all the washing up, I’d rather do the cooking than that.

Hahaha! I wish I could just do dishes. Really! I don’t mind. It’s like a meditation for me. But I rarely enjoy my bf meals because of his work, so usually we do alike you – me the chef, he – the cleaner.
But this week, I’m taking an advantage over him. Hhihi.

Your photos look beautiful – I especially love your breakfast of strawberries and ricotta. Simple but I can imagine, delicious.
I had to laugh at you being ‘allowed’ to chop some veggies on the side for the chicken and potatoes meal – I thought “Men and their protein and potatoes!!” LOL 😉
Hope your man feels better soon and that you don’t catch the flu off him! Love and hugs xx

Bahaha! Men and their protein and potatoes! – so true, Fi… or the pasta, or rice. I like that he eats lunches at work and I’m left to prepare salads for dinner – this I can do!
Otherwise I suck in the kitchen, cause chocolate doesn’t count!

Oh, Gel… I’m not the best girlfriend. I know that. My mood swings can drive anyone (and especially him) mad. I’m blessed that he handles me just the way I am. thank you for reminding me to show more love to him.

Yum! Well not all men are like your boyfriend, not so caring and amazing in the kitchen. As far as I know, my dad is a horrible cook (when he tries once in a blue moon, that is). But I do agree that those men who are good could be truly God’s blessings!!! And there is something about the way men cook in liberal amounts, just pouring in ingredients without carefully measuring them, creating a gigantic flavourful dish 😀

Hahaha! I now “the pouring ingredient” masters! And later when you ask them for the recipe depending on the dish they reply: well it’s chicken and potatoes, or fish and mushrooms or kind of lasagna… Hell, yeah!?

Don’t you love men who aren’t afraid of the kitchen? My love is actually better in the kitchen than I am. I am a fantastic baker…. cookies, cakes and especially pies. But he can walk in the kitchen and decide what to make with what we have on hand and it is always fantastic. I need a recipe to follow. I do most of the cooking, but when we entertain, it is all his show. I have to say, I have never thought of ricotta and strawberries for breakfast. I just might have to try that sometime…..

Oh, I understand what you mean – a God in the kitchen, who creates Something out of nothing, and when you ask for the recipe later he goes – it’s just chicken and potatoes. And later the same “chicken and potatoes” are way different and even greater, but the recipe remains the same “chicken and potatoes”
And again, ricotta and strawberries are his idea. The simple one, but hell I did too never though of that 🙂

I’m Greta. I live in a small country in Europe. I am recovering from an eating disorder. But this blog is not only about that. It’s a cozy corner of my little life, full of passions for fashion, food, books and movies. Oh, and coffee... Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.
